Chapter 70 You can be the Prime Minister
"Uncle, aunt, help me..."
Xi'er's screams in red were heart-breaking and could be heard by the whole house. Everyone is weeping. Who weeps the most among you? Mr. Yushan’s green shirt is wet.
After coming out of the theater, Qian Qianyi couldn't calm down. Regardless of his student Gu Yanwu, he asked the old servant directly: "Have such evil things ever happened in our family?"
The old servant bowed his head and said: "To report to your husband, our family does not dare to tarnish your reputation. We treat our slaves and tenants very well. Our family only collects 50% of the tenant rent a year. Who in Suzhou Prefecture would not praise us?" You are fair and righteous."
Qian Qianyi turned around and asked Gu Yanwu: "I heard that Lantian's farming industry is very prosperous. I wonder how much their rent is?"
Gu Yanwu cupped his hands in embarrassment and replied: "Report to Yu. Mr. Shan learned that in Lantian County alone, there was almost no tenant rent. Not only that, those who rented out the land had to pay half of the tax back to the tenants. "
Qian Qianyi was stunned. He asked at once: "What's the truth?"
Gu Yanwu said: "Sir, you don't know that the land in Lantian has now become a symbol of status. Most of the families with land are locals of Lantian, and the first ones to come here Victims of the disaster in Lantian.
In the past ten years, the local industry and commerce in Lantian have been extremely prosperous. The output of these two industries is ten times and dozens of times that of farmland. Therefore, local people rarely devote their efforts to farming.
However, Lantian's law says - if the land does not grow crops in one acre, the owner will be fined five hundred copper coins; if no crops grow in two years - half of the land will be taken back, and if no crops grow in three years, the owner will be punished. Take back the acres.
The land in Lantian is precious, so the owner is naturally unwilling to give up the acres, so the strange phenomenon of subsidizing taxes to the tenants appears. ”
Qian Qianyi nodded. He praised: "Seeing that Lantian attaches great importance to farming, Yun Zhao has some knowledge."
Gu Yanwu smiled and said: "Since sir, you have come to Chang'an, why not visit Yushan City as soon as possible, this Chang'an City Although it is prosperous, it seems a bit vulgar to you. Only when you enter Yushan City can you truly feel the beauty of Guanzhong's natural treasures."
Qian Qianyi laughed and said: "That's it. "Did Yun Zhao allow me, an idle minister of the Ming Dynasty, to enter his capital?"
Gu Yanwu frowned slightly and said, "The capital!"
Qian Qianyi waved his hand. He said: "The capital of the emperor is in Shuntian Mansion. As long as your majesty reigns, the world's heroes can only become kings!"
Gu Yanwu said: "Your majesty invites you to stay at Yushan Academy."
Qian Qian Yi looked in the direction of Yushan and said indifferently: "I have known for a long time that Yushan Academy is good at new learning. I came to Guanzhong half of it because of him."
Gu Yanwu smiled long and said: "See you, sir. You will definitely be happy with the flourishing new learning."
Qian Qianyi said: "Not necessarily."
Gu Yanwu said: "Don't you often say that Confucianism has evolved since Zhu Xi? There is no progress, is it time to throw away some old sesame seeds and rotten millet?”
Qian Qianyi looked at it?Looking at Gu Yanwu, he said: "I'm worried that you have fallen into the devil's way."
Gu Yanwu is not a person who will blindly follow just a few words from his husband. He thought for a while and said: "This is the right way in the world!"
Qian Qianyi laughed and said: "The right path in the world is subject to vicissitudes of life!"
Gu Yanwu said calmly: "At least, we chose this emperor."
Qian Qianyi said: "There is only one candidate for Yun Zhao, so what kind of selection is it?"
"The previous emperors all said that they were the emperor. Yun Zhao believed that his power came from the people. To us, this is not the case." That's enough."
Qian Qianyi sighed: "The power of the tyrants makes people speechless."
Gu Yanwu said: "The Ming Dynasty has reached the end of its rope. , it is natural for Yun Zhao to succeed to the Ming Dynasty."
Qian Qianyi said: "The Ming Dynasty is Zhu's surname."
Gu Yanwu felt somewhat bored and said lightly: "In the future. The Ming Dynasty will be the Ming Dynasty of the people. From a legal perspective, every citizen of the Ming Dynasty has the possibility to become the emperor. This world will no longer belong to one person."
Qian Qianyi said: "It is useless to argue at this time. Let's take our time."
Gu Yanwu said with a smile: "Your Majesty also said not to make any comments about him at this time, and to wait until his coffin is closed before making any judgment."
Qian Qianyi said: "There is some self-awareness."
Gu Yanwu was still going to speak, but he saw a woman in a green cloak slowly walking out of the Chunfeng Mingyue Tower with the support of a maid. , under the illumination of the gas lamp, a pale little face makes people feel particularly pitiful.
It can be seen that there are tears on her face.
Qian Qianyi stepped forward and held the woman's little hand and said, "Have you met an old friend?"
The woman nodded silently.
Qian Qianyi said: "When I see Yun Zhao, I will propose to save them from the fire and water."
The woman shook her head and said: "They are living a good life."< /p>
Qian Qianyi said gently: "How can we live freely under the power of lust? We must open this cage and let them return to the forest."
The woman shook her head and said: " It’s not like they’re lying, they’re really doing well.”
Qian Qianyi smiled and didn’t answer.
Gu Yanwu said painfully on the side: "Your Majesty has only two wives until now. How has he ever been tainted by any flowers? Kou Baimen and the others are free now. If they want, they can go where they want tomorrow.
No one restricted them. They stayed in Lantian and refused to leave. Mr. Gong and Nanjing Zhu Hou came several times to take away Kou Baimen and Gu Hengbo. They beat me away.
Sir, please don’t misunderstand me, Lan Tian.”
Qian Qianyi still smiled and didn’t answer.
Yun Zhao is in the big house A small-scale meeting was held in the study room. Except for Yun Zhao, Han Lingshan, Han Xiufen, and Qian Shaoshao, the other nineteen people at the meeting all had a Chinese character in their names.
SinceAfter the meeting, he didn't say a word, just looked at everyone's faces.
Han Lingshan was so frightened by what he saw that he said directly: "If you have something to say, just say it, don't look at it like this "Look at us."
Yun Zhao still didn't speak, just shook his head at Han Lingshan, fixed his eyes on Duan Guoren's face, moved Duan Guoren's head to look at his ears, and sighed again. With a sound, he shook his head and fixed his gaze on Qian Shaoshao.
Qian ShaoShao immediately said loudly: "I am not qualified, and I am not suitable."
Everyone heard what Qian ShaoShao said, and all fixed their eyes on Qian ShaoShao's face. There was no kindness in their eyes.
When Shao Qian saw that his brother-in-law didn't look at him kindly, he gritted his teeth and said, "My sister told me, if you want to get angry, go to her. I won't listen to what she insisted on saying." "
Han Lingshan's sinister voice sounded from behind Qian Shaosha: "Then tell us what we don't know."
Qian Shao didn't seem to stop him from seeing his brother-in-law. Instead, he sat down and said in a bachelor's manner: "Your Majesty will find a person among us who is suitable to serve as the Prime Minister, and then participate in this year's selection."
Xu Wuxiang chuckled after hearing this. He said in a voice: "I think I..."
"Not suitable!" Han Lingshan flatly denied it without waiting for Xu Wu to succeed in self-recommendation.
Xu Wuxiang smiled and said: "With one less vote, who else is opposed?"
Han Xiufen raised her hand and said: "I am opposed too."
Xu Wuxiang sighed and said: "Two votes were against."
Qian Shaoshao shook his head and said: "You are not suitable!"
"Three votes were against."
Duan Guoren said: "Objection!"
Xu Wu wanted to hear the words and sat down honestly. "
Zhou Guoping just stood up when Zhang Guozhu roared: "Sit down! "
Zhou Guoping curled her lips and sat down obediently.
Yun Zhao's eyes passed over the faces of these partners who shared life and death before him, and said softly: "Let's go. At this point, the separation of powers is certain. The initial assumption is that legislation, judiciary, supervision, administration, imperial power, and military power will coexist.
These powers constitute the power base of our Lantian, and the source of all powers is the National Assembly.
The first National Assembly was basically decided by the twenty-three of us. The delegates at the meeting did not understand what the right to vote and the right to be elected were. Therefore, we people must build a stable power structure.
Let’s talk about it first, imperial power and military power are one. This is my domain and is not given to others. "
Han Lingshan, who has the most say, said: "Judicial power belongs to Xiezhi. This has been determined by your Majesty a long time ago, right? ”
Yun Zhao said: “One of the three of Haechi, Zhuque and Qinglong needs to be the leader of Lantian. "
Han Lingshan looked at the brothers of the Chinese generation here and said, "Do you have any opinions? ”
For Haezhi’s work over the years, inEveryone in the audience still agreed, and since Yun Zhao was the first candidate to be confirmed, they had no objections.
Han Lingshan looked at the crowd again and said: "Among these powers, the power belonging to His Majesty is unshakable. Among the many powers that follow, administrative power is the most important. I think this administrative head should be Is Mr. Qian talking about the Prime Minister?"
Yun Zhao nodded and said, "That's true."
Han Lingshan added, "Okay, let's not talk about the Prime Minister." The most important position is probably the supervisory power. I think the procuratorial power should be divided into two and shared between me and Qian Shaoshao. Does anyone have any opinions?"
Peng Guoshu said: "How to divide it? ?"
Han Lingshan said: "My temperament is divided between internal and external. When I am in charge of the outside, I include supervising you. When I am in charge, I also supervise you."
Sun Guo. Xin Dao: "You are not allowed to have the right to judge."
Chang Guoyu said: "If anyone among us makes a mistake, he can only be judged by the twenty-three of us,"
Qian Shaoshao said : "Our lives are given by His Majesty. I suggest that one vote from Your Majesty is worth ten."
Yang Guoxiu said: "I agree, even if I am wronged, I will accept it."
Yang Guoxiu said. p>
Zhang Guozhu glanced at Han Lingshan and Qian Shaoshi and said: "Who should supervise you? Don't tell me about your self-discipline. Which of the brothers and sisters here has no self-discipline?
Since the regulations are mentioned, we must formulate a strict regulations."
Han Lingshan cast his gaze on Yun Zhao's face and said solemnly: "Your Majesty will make a decision."
Zhang Guozhu stood up with his fists clenched, and regardless of the pull of his sister Zhang Guoying, he used all his strength to make a weak voice and said: "Who will supervise Your Majesty?"
Yun Zhao's eyes flickered from the twenty-three present. The brothers and sisters looked at their faces one by one and said: "Twenty people, as long as twenty brothers and sisters think that my conclusion is wrong, they can overturn my conclusion."
Zhang Guozhu left his seat and knelt on one knee. In front of Yun Zhao, he said: "Zhang Guozhu died without regrets!"
Yun Zhao looked at Zhang Guozhu and said, "You can be the prime minister of the country!"
